PBAT Graduated From Accounting Dept In CSU In 1979, Dr. Adetokunbo Studied English In BUK -Omowaiye

APC chieftain Oluremi Omowaiye has dismissed PDP chieftain Dr. Adetokunbo Pearse’s claim that he once headed the accounting department at Chicago State University, arguing that Pearse’s academic background makes the claim impossible.

Speaking on News Central TV, Omowaiye said, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu according to the record from the Chicago State University graduated in 1979 from the college of business administration and with majors in accounting. From the academic record of Dr. Adetokunbo Pearse, he had his first degree from Bayero University in English, and he did his PhD in African contemporary literature. So there’s no way someone who studied English, who lectured at the University of Lagos in the Department of English and Literature, would be the head of the accounting department. It is not possible. But the 78-year-old man came on national TV to claim that he was the head of the department,” he said.

Omowaiye also rejected Pearse’s claim that he served as a director of programmes at the university, saying he believes that too is false. He said his lawyer has written to Chicago State University and that he is waiting for an official response.

He said the documents will form part of a case against Pearse. “We must begin to do things right in this country. This is not a banana republic,” he said, adding that those who defame others without basis must face the courts.
